Naruto's Journey to Training

Seeing that Yu stopped talking, Sarutobi turned his attention to the other ninjas, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

Sarutobi's voice seemed calm, but only he knew the anger in his heart, and he unconsciously exuded a sense of majesty.

If anyone else stands up at this moment, he will be completely standing against the Hokage group. After all, Sarutobi has already made his position clear.

The conference room fell silent again, and everyone fell silent.

The heavy rain outside the window gradually subsided, and just when Sarutobi thought that this proposal would end here, a voice suddenly broke the silence of the conference room.

"Now that the organization of the Anbu has been resolved, can we clarify the functions of the Anbu?"

Sarutobi's body suddenly froze, and he looked in disbelief at the blond man who stood up.

The man's calm words exploded like a bolt of thunder in everyone's mind.

Although Yu's voice surprised everyone, there was no sense of surprise. However, when this man stood up and spoke, everyone felt stunned.

"How could it be him!"

Many people exclaimed!

It’s no wonder that everyone was making a fuss. After all, even the Third Generation and others had expressions of disbelief on their faces at this moment.

Yu sat in the front row and smiled gently. He knew that this time the Uchiha clan would not be the only one to launch an attack. The Uchiha clan just made a good start.

In fact, this person was the chief of the Yamanaka clan, the intelligence chief who Yu had just questioned whether the intelligence department was just a decoration.

The man who is called a pig in Pig, Deer and Butterfly!

In addition, he has another identity, that is, he is a staunch ally of the Sarutobi clan. However, with the rise of the third generation, this staunch ally has long since deteriorated, and the entire Ino, Shika, and Chou clans have almost become vassals of the Sarutobi clan.

However, during the Warring States Period, the Ino, Shika and Chou clans and the Sarutobi clan were equal allies from the beginning to the end. How could there be any talk of vassalage? This was just the Sarutobi clan feeling good about themselves, and this included Sarutobi Hiruzen.

At this moment Sarutobi felt that he had encountered too many surprises today, so many that he had been dealing with them passively. First, there were the complaints of the civilian ninjas, then the Uchiha took advantage of this to attack the Anbu, and now even his die-hard supporter, who he thought was least likely to stand up, chose this moment to stab him in the back.

A feeling of being caught off guard filled Sarutobi's heart. He suppressed his anger and looked at Yamanaka Inoichi, "You know, after the Anbu was eliminated, many intelligence points that could not be controlled were originally to be handed over to your intelligence department!"

Listening to Sarutobi's words with a hint of anger, Haiyi did not regret it at all. His nephew was still a victim! All this was caused by the unlimited expansion of the Anbu.

Sarutobi thought he was after power, but in fact he didn't want to seize power at all. The Ino-Shika-Cho and Sarutobi clans have been allies since the Warring States Period, but why have the Ino-Shika-Cho clan always been the only combination? It's not that the Sarutobi clan cannot be included.

Rather, there is a fundamental difference in the philosophies between the two. The Ino-Shika-Cho clan is one of the few ninjas who expect to live in peace, while the Sarutobi clan is a group of ninjas who are brave and good at fighting and have a warlike tendency. This is the reason why the two did not really come together in the end, but only maintained a simple alliance relationship.

When he rushed back to his family, he forcibly pulled out his nephew's tongue. The evil tongue on it completely shattered his preconceived impression of Sarutobi.

The village was originally established to allow the children of each family to live in a peaceful and sunny place. However, now the Anbu, a department with many powers, is trying to train their descendants into weapons of war. This is the real reason why he stood up today.

At this moment, Yamanaka Hai looked at Sarutobi firmly, without a trace of guilt in his heart, "I'm not talking about the intelligence department!"

"But since the Hokage mentioned this, I will also make it clear that in the future, when the Anbu needs to investigate intelligence, they must produce relevant evidence and cannot casually check the important intelligence of the Intelligence Department!"

After saying this, Haiyi paused and continued, "Everyone has selfish desires, and the Anbu is no exception. If important information is read casually, it would be quite irresponsible to the village!" When Haiyi said this, his heart was filled with guilt.

He believed that the reason why Danzo was able to obtain information on so many outstanding talents was largely due to the fact that the intelligence of the Intelligence Department was being read at will. He didn't care much about it before, but now he just felt a little scared when he thought about it.

Sarutobi had a gloomy face. Although he would not be able to directly access important information in the future, he only needed a warrant and relevant documents, so he did not think much about it and agreed directly, "Okay!"

After talking about the intelligence, Hai Yi continued, "The Anbu has been established for many years, but there has been no clear division of responsibilities and powers. I think we should re-plan the power division of the Anbu on this matter!

“Is it the Lord’s external affairs, or the Lord’s internal affairs?”

"What power do you have to the outside world? What power do you have to the inside world? If we don't make a clear distinction, such a department with a confusing responsibilities and powers will easily breed dark and despicable people like Danzo!"

However, when the third generation and others heard this, their expressions froze.

They naturally want power both internally and externally, but they obviously cannot say that now.

After a long pause, Utane Koharu replied vaguely, "The Anbu is directly under the Hokage, so naturally they have to deal with both the inside and the outside. Otherwise, the Hokage's orders and some important intelligence will not be able to be carried out immediately!"

Hai Yi pondered for a moment and asked.

"May I ask what power you have internally?"

"Protect the Hokage, check on suspicious persons, and arrest those involved immediately!"

"May I ask how to identify this suspicious person?"

"We will conduct relevant research!"

"Then what basis was the arrest made? Are there any relevant documents after the arrest? Are there any relevant departments supervising this matter? Can the list of suspects be made public?"

The series of questions instantly made Utane Koharu fall silent.

However, the affairs of the Anbu do not stand up to scrutiny at all. It is suspected that it is entirely up to the upper echelons to decide, and there may be no follow-up afterwards.

This matter that could not be investigated once again magnified the uneasiness of the ninjas present. If the knife was only pointed at the outside, the people present might applaud, but when it was pointed at themselves, no one could tolerate this kind of unreasonable investigation and suspicion, and there was no guarantee afterwards.

After a moment, Sarutobi spoke slowly, "What do you think we should do!"

Shan Zhonghai said without changing his expression.

"From now on, the ANBU leader will be responsible for external intelligence and emergencies, and internally! I think it's best to protect the Hokage-sama!"

"No!" Utane Koharu quickly stood up and said.

"Why!"

"Hokage-sama, do you not trust your colleagues here?!"

At this moment, many ninjas raised their heads and looked at Sarutobi. For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense.

The three Sarutobi looked at each other. The tacit understanding from years of cooperation allowed them to understand each other's meaning in an instant.

They realized that they could not allow things to continue in this way, and they had to find a way to confuse the current situation.

"Of course I believe in everyone's loyalty to the village, but we cannot ignore the unstable factors in the village. If we don't take any precautions, it will be another disaster for Konoha!" After saying that, Sarutobi glanced at Uchiha and his group meaningfully.

"Oh! Lord Sandaime, are you talking about the various ninja clans present here? I wonder how Lord Hokage saw the unstable factors!"

Yu took the initiative and dragged all the major families of Konoha into the water without hesitation. Through Sarutobi's eyes, Yu understood what the third generation would say next!

But Yu didn't take it to heart at all.

"I believe you Uchiha are very clear about what I mean!" Sarutobi hurriedly explained when he saw the representatives of the major ninja clans all changed their expressions.

"Haha, I hope Lord Hokage can speak clearly! Don't you think it's beneath your dignity to play dumb in such a big meeting?" Yu mocked without hesitation.

Sarutobi's face darkened, "Please ask the current Uchiha clan leader to explain what your clan's Mangekyō is all about. You should know that during the Nine-Tails Rebellion, many people present saw the Sharingan in the Nine-Tails' eyes."
